TN CM Vijay in Delhi tomorrow for Sonia Gandhi's book launch event
Digital Desk | Chennai, Nov 15 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay will travel to New Delhi on Monday to attend the official launch of former Congress president Sonia Gandhis autobiography, amid speculation that he may also meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the contentious Mekedatu dam project. Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president Manickam Tagore confirmed CM Vijays participation in the November 16 event, scheduled at a hotel in the national capital. Members of Sonia Gandhis family and other invitees are expected to attend the programme. The autobiography reached bookstores on November 10, ahead of its official launch. CM Vijays visit will provide an occasion for an interaction with Sonia Gandhi, whom he had met during an earlier trip to Delhi after becoming Chief Minister. Attention, however, is focused on whether CM Vijay will secure a meeting with PM Modi to reiterate Tamil Nadus opposition to Karnatakas proposed dam across the Cauvery at Mekedatu. There has been no official confirmation of such a meeting. The CM's Delhi visit comes against the backdrop of renewed controversy over Karnatakas efforts to obtain the Centres final approval for the project. Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar participated alongside PM Modi in the inauguration of development projects in Karnataka on Friday. Remarks made during the programme, citing a Supreme Court ruling in support of proceeding with the project and seeking central clearance, have intensified the dispute. Tamil Nadu has maintained that the concerns of downstream states must be addressed before any approval is granted. In a letter to PM Modi on November 7, CM Vijay urged the Union government not to permit the project without hearing the views of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala. A meeting during the forthcoming visit would allow him to press that position directly with the Prime Minister. Mondays journey will be CM Vijays third visit to Delhi since assuming office. He first met PM Modi on May 27. During his second visit, from June 10 to 12, he attended a NITI Aayog meeting and met President Droupadi Murmu, PM Modi and Sonia Gandhi. The trip has also acquired political significance following reports that Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Friday to discuss the states law and order situation. Against this backdrop, CM Vijays engagements in the national capital will be watched, particularly for any discussion on the dam dispute and the state governments concerns over Cauvery water.

Amit Sharma to lead UNFPA census preparedness mission to Latin America
Jammu, Nov 14: Amit Sharma, Chief Principal Census Officer (CPCO) and Director Census Operations/Director Citizen Registration for Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, will lead an Indian delegation to Trinidad and Tobago as part of a bilateral technical assistance mission on Census preparedness being coordinated by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The mission is scheduled to take place in the last week of November, with the delegation visiting Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, where the countrys Central Statistical Office (CSO) will host technical sessions, discussions and field visits in coordination with UNFPA. Sharma has been selected as a subject expert to lead the mission ahead of the population count planned by Trinidad and Tobago in March-April 2027. The Indian delegation will include Sharma and D. Helen Premakumari, Deputy Director General, Census Operations, Karnataka, representing the Office of the Registrar General of India under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Four officers from the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) will also be part of the delegation. The team is expected to share Indias experience and best practices in conducting the Census, including preparations for the countrys first digital and paperless Census. The discussions will also focus on how these practices could be adapted to the requirements of Trinidad and Tobago. Sharmas selection comes in recognition of the Census-related work undertaken in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, particularly the challenges associated with snow-bound areas, hilly and inaccessible terrains and the movement of transhumance populations. According to the press note, the experience of conducting Census-related activities in these difficult geographical conditions has been acknowledged by the Government of India, with Sharma leading the operations in the two Union Territories. The bilateral engagement is part of an ongoing exchange between India and Trinidad and Tobago. Officers from the Caribbean nation had earlier visited India to study the Indian model of surveys and Census operations. The forthcoming visit by the Indian delegation is intended to extend technical support and assist Trinidad and Tobago in its preparations for the 2027 Census. Speaking about his selection, Sharma expressed gratitude to the Government of India, particularly the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India Mritunjay Kumar Narayan, for entrusting him with the responsibility. He expressed confidence that the Indian delegation would be able to share relevant data, experience and technical knowledge during its interactions with officials in Trinidad and Tobago, helping the country strengthen its preparations for the population count in the first half of 2027.

IWL 2026/27: Juanitas double powers Sethu Madurai to 2-1 win over Kickstart FC Karnataka
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Nov 14 (IANS) Juanita Aguadzes brace, including a second-half penalty, helped Sethu Madurai start their campaign in the Indian Womens League (IWL) 2026/27 with a 2-1 victory over Southern rivals Kickstart FC Karnataka at the Kalyani Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday. Ghanaian Juanita Aguadze scored twice for Sethu (18', 67'), but was also responsible for Kickstarts only goal of the game, an own goal in the 24th minute. Kickstart FC Karnataka controlled possession to begin with, making inroads with some neat interplay in midfield. Despite having the better share of opportunities, they couldnt break the deadlock. Sethu captain Malavika looked particularly impressive on the counter-attack, creating chances down the right wing at the other end. The forward set up the opening goal of the game, picking out Juanita, who fired her effort into the top corner to give Sethu the lead in the 18th minute. Kickstart responded within six minutes, drawing level from a corner courtesy of an own goal from Juanita. The game settled into an evenly matched contest after the goals, with possession shared almost equally and both sides probing in midfield. Each team created half-chances, but there was nothing to separate them heading into the break. Sethu began the second half positively, cranking the intensity up a notch. Juanita had a couple of opportunities to double her tally for the day, but was kept at bay by Aiswarya Arumugam in the Kickstart goal. The Ghanaians industry eventually paid off as her marauding run down the left wing resulted in Musken Subba being brought down in the box. Juanita made no mistake from the spot as she doubled her tally to put Sethu back in the lead in the 67th minute. Sethu grew into the game even further and kept pushing for a third goal. They created a few chances to settle the contest, but the finishing touch eluded them. With time running out, Kickstart threw players forward in search of an equaliser, only to find Sethus defence well organised and in control. Nira Chanus long-range attempt was the closest Kickstart came to finding the leveller. Sethu stayed composed through the closing minutes and held on for a 2-1 win, taking all three points on the opening day of their campaign. The IWL 2026/27 action continues on Monday, November 16, with NITA Football Academy facing BBFS Garhwal United FC at the Kalyani Stadium.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Nov 14 (IANS) Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara on Saturday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Virendra Kumar, urging the Centre to take immediate steps to provide Constitutional protection to the state's increased reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) by including the relevant legislation in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. In his letter, Parameshwara sought urgent intervention by the Centre to protect the law enacted by the Karnataka government in 2022 to increase reservation for Scheduled Castes from 15 per cent to 17 per cent and for Scheduled Tribes from three per cent to seven per cent. The legislation received the Governor's assent on January 11, 2023, and came into effect retrospectively from November 1, 2022. The reservation for these communities had remained unchanged for nearly seven decades. According to the 2011 Census, Scheduled Castes constitute 17.15 per cent of Karnataka's population, while Scheduled Tribes account for 6.95 per cent. Taking into consideration their social and educational backwardness, the Justice H.N. Nagamohan Das Commission had recommended an increase in reservation and suggested that the legislation be included in the Ninth Schedule to provide constitutional protection. However, the Karnataka High Court, on October 12, 2026, struck down the provisions relating to the enhanced reservation, saying that the overall reservation would rise to 56 per cent, exceeding the 50 per cent ceiling. The state government has challenged the High Court's order before the Supreme Court. In his letter, Parameshwara cited the example of Tamil Nadu, where the 69 per cent reservation was granted Constitutional protection through the 76th Constitutional Amendment in 1994 by including the relevant legislation in the Ninth Schedule. He urged the Centre to consider a similar measure to protect Karnataka's 56 per cent reservation. The Karnataka government had submitted a proposal to the Centre in this regard on March 23, 2023. The Karnataka Legislative Assembly also adopted a resolution on December 18, 2025, seeking Constitutional protection for the enhanced reservation. Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had written to Prime Minister Modi on April 16, 2026, on the issue. However, the Centre had deferred action, citing the pendency of the matter before the courts, the letter said. Parameshwara added that judicial proceedings should not become a reason to indefinitely postpone the objective of social justice. He said both the Union and state governments had a joint responsibility to address Constitutional issues and protect the educational and employment opportunities of disadvantaged communities. He urged the Prime Minister to personally intervene and initiate the process of introducing the necessary Constitutional Amendment Bill in Parliament to bring Karnataka's reservation legislation under the Ninth Schedule. I also called for consultations with the National Commission for Scheduled Castes and the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes to address the constitutional and procedural issues identified by the court. The Union Ministries of Law and Justice, Social Justice and Empowerment, Tribal Affairs and Home Affairs should coordinate and take a time-bound decision, the Deputy Chief Minister said. The letter also called for a wider national-level discussion on the relevance of the existing 50 per cent reservation ceiling in view of the changing social conditions in the country. Stating that social justice transcended political differences, Parameshwara said ensuring equal opportunities in education and employment for communities that had remained deprived of opportunities for centuries was a collective responsibility of the nation. He urged the Centre to respond positively to Karnataka's long-pending demand and take a decision within a stipulated timeframe. The key demands in the letter include placing the legislation providing 17 per cent reservation for SCs and seven per cent for STs in the Ninth Schedule, introducing the required Constitutional Amendment Bill in Parliament, consulting the national commissions concerned, resolving the legal and procedural issues, and undertaking a national-level review of the 50 per cent reservation ceiling. The overall demand is to provide Constitutional protection to Karnataka's enhanced reservation for SCs and STs, totalling 24 per cent, on the lines of the protection extended to Tamil Nadu's 69 per cent reservation.
